The big media companies will have plenty of money to hire lawyers to defend themselves.

Which all drives up the price of losing.

And you're calling someone ELSE obtuse?

You’re clearly the one who is obtuse if you can’t understand that shifting the burden in libel cases on to defendants will disproportionately impact the little guy. Speech has certainly been chilled in Britain as a result of rich bad guys like the Saudis being able to sue people who don’t have a lot of resources to defend themselves. Or maybe you’re just a troll who likes seeing rich guys muzzle those who can’t afford to hire libel lawyers at the drop of a hat..
